Lisa Y.

Lisa is a Chinese-American I met while in the Oakland County Jail. She would end up there when she didn't show up for her court ordered, monthly shot. You see, Lisa is bipolar. She would often get arrested while in a manic phase of her illness. She told me several stories about her antics in Lake Orion. One time, she stopped her car in the middle of the road and refused to move, until her then boyfriend got out. She was a complete mess. She even harassed an old woman one night she was in a manic fit. It was too much for Lake Orion to take and a judge ordered her to get a shot that she couldn't stop taking and/or forget to take. If she didn't show for her appointment, the Lake Orion Police would show up at her door and take her to jail to get it.

The only thing I didn't understand at the time is why they brought her to OCJ and not to the outpatient clinic where she got her shot. Why did she have to be arrested and put in jail evry time she missed her shot. After I figured out the deputies were selling inmates, I understood why. People in a manic phase of their illness have a hyper sexdrive, too. So Lisa came to OCJ very horny. Once she asked me what I did for sex in my cell, since I was alone. I explained that I didn't do anything. She straddled her seat at her desk, cupped her breast and showed me how she satisfied herself. I laughed, but now I think it's sad.

Lisa had been a freshman at the University of Michigan when her illness took hold of her life. The women she lived with saw that she was a bit strange and started complaining about her behavior, until her brother had to come get her. She says that it was due to her being outgoing, something that is not expected of a Chinese person in society. She said she just didn't fit the norm. Lisa is very smart. I almost believed her, until the day she had a full blown psychotic break through the night. I went to her cell to talk and saw a whole other person from the one she was the day before. She began to yell at me and lose control. I was so shocked and couldn't believe her demeanor and actions could change so quickly, but they had. I asked her in a calm tone, "Are you alright?" She spit at me and it landed on the glass. She screamed at me in a vicious manner said, "Get away from me you Nigger!" I backed away and went to sit on the couch to watch television. I had never seen such a dramatic change in a person before.

She spent a lot of her life in mental institutions in Southeast Michigan. She had told me that all the rumors about the State Hospital Clinton Valley were true. The rumors about the staff having sex with patients and the tunnels beneath the hospital, where all this was suppose to take place were not a myth. It was all true and she had taken part in the mahiem. as a young woman. Lisa was about 40-years old when we met in OCJ. She had been in the system being sexually abused for over 20 years. She would swear it wasn't abuse and something she wanted to do, but she didn't realize those people had an obligation to look after her well-being and not use her for their own sexual needs. Now, she was being used at the Oakland County Jail. She was having sex for Hungry Howie's bread sticks that were said to be the best.

She was always placed in the three main spots for prostitution. That was cell 1, 6 and 8. She never went upstairs to live, because they always wanted access to her. She was very beautiful and resembled a doll. She was really nasty however, and had created a tough exterior in order to survive her adventures in jail and whatever else she had been through in the years since her diagnosis. I came to realize through my own journeys that the mentally ill in Michigan were nothing but chattle to be used at the whime of those in charge of them. People like Lisa are left to muttle through a life filled with abuse and little reward. The sad part is they don't even know or understand. Lisa would often stand in her door and sing, "Ah, me so horny! Me love you long time!" It would be funny, but she couldn't sign. But she knew her worth in the jail. She was a man's fantasy from Full Metal Jacketand the Too Live Crew's hit song. And that's why the Lake Orion Police brought her to jail and didn't take her to the out-patient clinic. Sex...

Murderers are Freed in OCJ

I was going to save these words until time had gone by. A young man in Oxford killed four of his classmates. He took his gun to school and made what I call cries for help. From his pictures and words, he wanted to let someone know that the unctions were too much for him. He needed help in the worst way. I believe he suffers from schzophrenia. I know a woman that suffered from it. The voices were so loud that she drove her three year old son to the lake and threw him in. He could not swim at three and drowned. She is serving a 25 year sentence in the women's facility that is Huron Valley. She's a dear friend of mine and we would cook together on occassion while I was there. She told me about it. How the voices were so loud and compelling she believed it was something she needed to do. Mental Illness is serious and not something that you throw on someone, because they refuse to smoke crack and have sex with the same sex. Mental Illness is an American crisis. So you know I was upset when I saw Michael Bouchard leading the charge. This man has been the leader of a whorehouse for over 25 years in the making. He wasn't there for all of it, but he has been there for the most of it. Mentally ill imates are sold more than the so-called normal ones. Where will this child go and get help? The Forensic Center where he will go for his exam is also guilty of sex crimes against the mentally ill. Even making place for the sane that agree to prostitute to get out of Murder charges. Michigan is a cess pool of crimes against the week, and I pray that laq enforcement doesn't allow these people to get away and commit a worse crime on the people of Oxford. I watched Bouchard stand up and tell children that he will find them and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Who is going to find him and his deputies and lock them up for running the racket they do out of the jail's clinic? I'm amazed at his gall. His absolute gall of acting like a noble leader when his army is running their own criminal enterprise out of the Oakland County Jail. I had to write this, because somebody has to know. There is a great possibility that the Crumbley's can be let go. Because they not only sell women, they sell men, too! We lose track of these cases after a while, and judges are able to do whatever they want. Judges have absolute power and those deputies have a fair amount of them on their "pimp team". If they can help their family they are liable to do anything. Deputies could get a better price for them, they've been all on the news. People have to never forget this tragedy, because they look forward to it and will sell those people at a premium. I know that the people of Oxford are hurting. It has been a hard week. To see Tate Myre's mother face at the Michigan game was telling. She is hurting somewhere deep that only a mother could know. I am a teller of what I know is truth. What I have witnessed with my own eyes. This Oakland County Jail thing is real. There is a great chance that these people will go free if it's not told. They have ruined countless lives and taken away freedoms of people who deserve it, and given it to people that don't. The truth is scary, and Michael Bouchard knows it. He can't take this tragedy and make it a chance for him to shine. He is responsible for some of the greatest travesties of law enforcement. That includes murderers.

This has shown me that we need to hold Bouchard and his pimps accountable. No one is able to win when the people responsible don't get their day in court, but instead are able to go free by prostitution. It is not a well kept secret on the streets where I live. In fact, it is the norm and people commit crimes knowing they can just go in the jail, perform sex acts and go home. There should be a limit to how far this goes. I hope it skips over this couple and their child, but I don't believe it will. No one polices the police and no one cares what goes on in the jail. Where Jennifer Crumbley is held there is rampid sex acts that go on all through the night. Deputies get sexually pleasured through food slots and through locked doors. This had to be told too many people put their faith in a corrupt system!
